Workers Playtime – PLAY CD7
Benjamin Obadiah Iqbal Zephaniah is a British Rastafarian writer and dub
poet, and is well known in contemporary English literature.
He was the first person to record with the Wailers after the death of Bob Marley in a musical tribute to Nelson Mandela.
He is also quite famous for rejecting an OBE in November 2003, stating
that getting one would remind him of 'how my foremothers were raped and
my forefathers brutalised'
Rasta is Zephaniah’s first music album that’s still going strong. This
was world music before World Music. Roots reggae but with sitar,
mandolin, oboe, and west African drumming.
